I was thinking about the expression used that something can be purchased
"at a fraction of the cost." From a mathematical standpoint, this is a
meaning less statement, as it would be true even if the fraction is 99/100
(or even 110/100), and that it obviously not what the speaker means. So, my
question is: What fraction of the cost need an item be to be described as
"a fraction of the cost." Please respond by filling out this one-question
poll, and I will update you all as to what the consensus is.
